The contoured backrest features LiveBack(TM) technology that changes shape as you move to support your entire spine in its natural, healthy S-shape. Height adjustable lumbar and lower back firmness control let you set your preferred level of support for your lumbar spine. The patented Natural Glide(TM) adjustment allows the seat to glide forward so you can recline without leaving your optimal zone for seeing and reaching your work. Our proprietary seat cushion design leverages built in air pockets that conform to your body and flexible edges that relieve pressure points under your thighs. Features include adjustable seat depth, height, width, pivot and depth adjustable arms, adjustable lumbar, lower back firmness control, seat height adjustment, recline tension adjustment, 5 position recline lock, upholstered back and seat, and wheels for carpet flooring. Arrives fully assembled and is backed by a 12 year warranty. From the Manufacturer The streamlined, stylish contour of the Steelcase Leap chair is just the beginning. The Leap is the first chair that actually changes shape to support your movements! With its Live Back technology, it moves dynamically as your back moves, mimicking the movement of your spine; the arms of the chair move in and out, forward and back; the seat glides forward so you can recline without leaving your vision and reach zone, and stay oriented to your work. Even when leaning forward, the seat edge flexes to relieve pressure on the back of the legs. In short, the Leap chair's ergonomic advances allow you to work comfortably, and more productively, in a proven healthy manner for extended periods of time. Review: Update Re: Previous Review of "Very High Quality, Comfortable Chair" - 1/14/2021 Update: I've had this chair now for several months. In the beginning it was not comfortable but that changed. For all the sitting I do while working at home I do not have back issues. I like the ability to recline to stretch out my back throughout the day. Overall I am satisfied with this purchase. 9/30 Update: In hindsight I probably would not spend the money to purchase this chair. I was fortunate that my employer subsidized the cost. I do still have back pain, not as much as the previous chair but it's still there. Based on online reviews of this chair on the Internet I would have thought this would be the most comfortable chair I could sit in but it is not and for the money I would expect that it would be. Original review: I decided to spend the additional funds to purchase this chair because I did not have a positive experience with lower priced office chairs. Based on my research I discovered that this is one of the top office chairs on the market. It has lived up to its reputation. It came assembled which was great because I didn't have to worry about not screws that did not fit properly into their holes. I'm very pleased and it's worth it now that I am working at home and require a very high quality chair....my back is worth it!! Review: A very well-designed, high quality chair. - As soon as I sat on this chair, I knew it was "the one". Love at first sight but for a piece of furniture :) The first thing I noticed about it was that it's actually smaller than a lot of the "executive" high-back chairs I've sat on. Those were very uncomfortable, and not designed for people of my size (I'm 5 ft 8, 140 lbs). Here are the most important design features for me: 1) The seat is depth-adjustable. I have relatively short thighs. I like that I can adjust the seat so that my back is nestled against the seat back and my legs still fall off the seat front at a right angle. 2) The arms are adjustable and yet not too loose: I thought this would not be a big deal, but this is turning out to be one of my favorite features. The arms can be lowered so you can pull the chair right up under the desk allowing you to get closer to your computer, if you want. They can be raised if you need support for your elbows. My old chair had arm rests that were far too wide basically making them useless. 3) There is a bewildering array of levers to adjust the chair and I thought this would be intimidating. However, every knob and lever is actually labeled so you know exactly what it does. Within a few minutes I knew how to adjust my chair. 4) I don't like mesh back chairs so I chose the Steelcase Leap over chairs like the Aeron. If you are spending an absurd amount of time in front of a computer because of working from home, do yourself a favor and buy a decent chair. Your body will thank you for it. The Steelcase Leap is expensive (when new, it's over $900) but I bought mine used and refurbished from TE Seating, at desertcart Marketplace. They delivered the chair within a week, fully assembled. It comes in a large box and it's very heavy so bear that in mind - you may need someone to help you bring it inside. ## Features - Leap owns a reputation as our most classic chair, providing customizable support whatever your body shape or style of work - Leap is designed with our Natural Glide System, allowing the seat to glide back and forth as you recline - keeping your posture in check and you closer to your work surface - Featuring 3D LiveBack technology, Leap mimics the natural shape of your spine, allowing the chair to contour to your needs and provide the perfect amount of lumbar support regardless of your seating position - Leap includes a lower back firmness dial that allows you to customize your sitting experience with just the right amount of lumbar support - We are seating experts.

Many years ago, we tested several quality office chairs, and the Leap got my vote over all the others. At the start of the pandemic, like many others, I started working from home almost exclusively. I bought a cheap $150 office chair at the time and suffered through the discomfort and back problems that came with it. More recently, I tried "upgrading" to a $300 office chair, which proved to be even worse, giving me a consistent neck ache due to poor posture that was impossible to correct. I looked at a lot of different options but kept coming back to the conclusion that anything less than a Leap would just mean a new set of problems. There are so many aspects of a chair that can go wrong -- lumbar support that is too far forward or non-adjustable, useless neck supports, uncomfortable arm supports stuck in place, hard seats, seat backs that don't come up far enough to sit straight, crappy wheels, the list goes on and I simply don't feel confident being able to judge all of those things especially while looking at chairs online given my experiences thus far. Even when I have tried to test them in-store, I have ended up with problems I didn't anticipate until I was actually using the chair over a period of time. The Leap is excellent in every respect. The cost is definitely high to pay out of your own funds for a home office, but the way I see it now, if you sit all day for your job, you can either pay the cost of that in the form of a nice office chair, or in the form of lots of visits to the doctor/physical therapist/chiropractor/etc. (been there, done that). Do yourself a favor and spend the money preventing those problems instead. ## Frequently Bought Together - Steelcase Leap Office Chair - Seven Points of Adjustability - Ergonomic Back Support Chair - Lumbar Support - 4D Adjustable Arms - Black Frame - Buzz2 Black Fabric - Lifelong Original Office Chair Wheels (As Seen On CNN) Replacement Rubber Chair Casters for Hardwood Floors and Carpet, Set of 5, Heavy Duty Casters for Chairs to Replace Office Chair Mats - Fits 98% - The Office Oasis Original Rollerblade Office Chair Wheels (As Seen On PBS) - Smooth & Quiet Casters - Safe for Hardwood Floors & Carpet - Easy Installation with Universal Fit - Set of 5 - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/12379193-leap](https://www.desertcart.is/products/12379193-leap) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-06-10*
